JDK-8030662 - "assert(counter_changed) failed: failed dependencies, but counter didn't change" still fails
Description
Alan Snyder has reported a non-reproducible crash.  The crash report is attached.

He says:
I thought I would pass this on in case it is of interest. It is not repeatable. It is on a recent personal build of JDK 9.

Comments
According to Alan, he "was running a program under IDEA and that a breakpoint was being processed (see Thread 41:: Java: AWT-EventQueue-0).". This showed up only once and we neither have a core file nor the command line output (which should contain detailed information about the violated dependencies). I'm leaving this closed as incomplete as long as the problem does not show up in a more reproducible manner.

I attached the hs_err file provided by Alan. The issue looks similar to JDK-8030662.
23-11-2016
I wrote an email to Alan asking about more information (hs_err* file and/or core file). Closing this as incomplete until we receive enough information to investigate.

Do you have hs_err* file? Call stack.
